91:99/ She Loves Me Cake

The cake marathon has officially begun. I went from 99 cakes in 365 days to 9 cakes in 3. Thanks to all of you for your input/encouragement over the past couple days via facebook/text/blog to tell me to keep going!

Here's the list for the next few days:

Miette's Tomboy

Chocolate apricot roll with lacquer glaze

True orange genoise

Torta de las tres leches

Le succes

Mini vanilla bean pound cakes

Marion berry short cake

Bernachon palet d'or gateau

Back to the She Loves Me Cake-

This cake was delicious and easy so I was a little mad that I didn't make it earlier. I can think of a lot of adjectives: sweet, fluffy, soft, velvety, tender, buttery, vanilla-y, heavenly.

Rose made hers in the Nordic Ware Daisy Cake Pan with some cute daisys on top but I didn't care to spend 30 bucks on it so I went with my stellar fluted tube pan.

And seriously when I say easy, I mean SO easy. The recipe is less than half a page- way to go Rose!

First you mix the liquid ingredients: egg yolks, milk, vanilla

Then mix the dry ones: cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.

Add the butter and put it in the pan!

And yum!
